A child's curiosity is always high. At dinner the next night, Alan and Riel asked with interest about the progress of the previous day's case, only to Mr. Connor shrugging and shaking his head, saying that nothing had come of it.

After another two days, still with nothing, old Gordon saw that they had done their best and did not dwell on them, and he considered himself unlucky.

There were no more incidents like this for the next few days, and it seemed to be over.

Beya still seems to be as quiet and peaceful as before.

The days went by quickly, but the weather seemed to be worse than some time ago, and it rained incessantly, and it was still very heavy.

During this time, Alan and Riel have been studying their homework in the house, after all, the final exam is approaching, and even Riel has no heart to go out and play.

It wasn't until the 20th that Alan woke up and finally saw the long-lost sunshine and felt comfortable.

After breakfast, the two discussed taking advantage of the good weather to go out and relax.

"Oh my God, Alan, it's been raining for more than a week. Riel looked well-fed and said as he stretched, "I feel like I'm getting moldy." ”

"yes, it's been a long time. ”

"Well, taking advantage of the good weather today, let's go find Arthur and take us for a ride. Riel sparkled in his eyes.

"Uh......" Alan obviously preferred to study his homework in the house or go to the roof to soak up the sun, "but, the exam is less than a week away......"

"Oh, what's the matter, I've been at home for so long, it's rare to have a sunny day......" As he said that, he dragged Alan out the door, "Come on!"

Alan couldn't stand Riel's stiff tug, raised his hands in surrender, straightened his clothes, and went out with Riel.

Although Alan is a year older than Riel, in terms of physical condition, Riel has perfectly inherited Mr. Connor's height and physique, and is significantly taller and stronger.

"Anna, if we come back late, tell Aunt Heidi that we went to Mr. Adrian's, so she doesn't have to worry. Riel opens the fence door and runs out, while Alan leaves a message with Anna.

"Okay, I made a note of it. Anna agreed, "But please come back sooner." ”

Alan smiled and nodded, and then Ryel was urging him again: "Hey, Alan, what are you doing? Hurry up!" Alan realized that Rare had run far away and was standing on the edge of the woods waving at him, so he quickly trotted all the way to follow.

Since they were familiar with the location of old Adrian's house, they no longer had to take a long detour, and walked straight from their house to the north-west, through a beech forest, not too far away.

The land here is very permeable, there is not much standing water on the ground, and the soft and moist soil is comfortable to step on.

Most of these beech trees are about 20 meters tall, and most of their leaves are purple, and they grow very densely, looking like a large purple carpet covering the trunk.

The woods were as quiet as ever, and even Riel was silenced when he came in.

Occasionally, a few birds chirp to make it more quiet. Sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves on the ground, forming dappled patches of light that add a bit of mystery to the woods.

Alan heard a rustle above his head and looked up to see two long-eared squirrels staring at them with wide eyes, holding a few unknown grass seeds in their arms.

As you can tell from the name, these squirrels have two large ears and are very long - not the usual length, almost the same length as their body, but this does not affect their movement in the woods, but it is convenient to keep out the rain when it rains.

Not long after they walked, they saw the sign of old Adrian's house—a circle of tree stumps. Alan reached out and touched the air, although it seemed that there was nothing, he could see the other side at a glance, but he knew that there was an enchantment here, which old Adrian would set every time he went out or came home.

He quickly determined the location of the barrier, and shouted, "Sweep away the clouds and fog, and the original form will be revealed!" The spell worked, only a soft "pop" was heard, as if a bubble had burst, and the barrier disappeared in an instant, revealing a small cabin in the fence wall. This was taught to him by old Odrian so that they could come to Arthur while he was away.

Old Adrian doesn't seem to be at home, probably still in his town's candy house.

They tried to find Arthur at the back of the house, but found that he had heard Alan's voice and trotted all the way over. It turned out that old Adrian had not had much time to spend with Arthur every day since he had opened a candy house in the town a few years ago, and he was afraid that he would be bored at home alone, so he developed the habit of letting him out before leaving and letting him wander around the yard by himself.

Although the range of activities that can be moved is not very large, it is better than being confined to a small nest.

It has been raining continuously lately, and Arthur has not flown for a long time, and he was very excited to see them coming, and Alan obediently lay on the ground before he could greet him, and let them ride on his back. By the way, they also took old Greg's fishing rod and bucket.

As Arthur carried them out of the fence gate, Alan reopened the barrier: "Shut up and hide!" I saw that the house began to disappear from the bottom up, and soon it was obscured by the barrier again.

Arthur flapped his wings as he ran, accumulated, soared, ascended, and soon led them to the top of the woods.

It seems that Arthur is also suffocated these days, flying higher than ever, and constantly changing the flying posture with the two of them, sometimes diving, sometimes flipping, causing Riel to scream constantly. The two of them also had to hold on tightly to its neck so that it didn't fall off.

The wind was strong in the sky, whistling in their ears, and the dullness of these days seemed to be gone with the wind.

They flew all the way southeast against the sun. The sun was a little dazzling, and the two of them looked down at the scenery below.

Over the years, Arthur has developed a habit that whenever Alan and Riel take him out, the first destination will definitely be the Blue Lagoon downstream.

Of course, you have to have a good meal before you have a good time......? That's probably what it thinks.

Arthur flew fast, and in the blink of an eye they reached their picnic area from Old Adrian's house.

Arthur slowly landed on the edge of the lake. The Blue Lagoon is surrounded by a dense forest of black poplars, perhaps because of its proximity to the water, and the trees here look even taller than near the old Adrian's house.

The Blue Lagoon as a whole looks a bit like a soybean, the shape is not very regular, but it is very large, because the river water has been flowing for many years, and it often rains these years, it is almost the size of two Beya towns. They came to the entrance of the Camus River into the Blue Lagoon, where old Adrian used to fish, and a large rock on which he used to sit.

Arthur was clever enough to make a fuss on the lake far away to avoid disturbing them fishing, and to eat some of his appetizer – sparkling fish. This small fish feeds on plankton and sucks in a lot of air when the weather is clear, floating like a balloon on the surface of the lake to bask in the sun. By this time they had more than doubled in size and were sluggish, and Arthur couldn't easily grab them, eating several in one bite.

Riel went to the root of the tree and caught bait—a couple of autogenous slugs. The backy ecantha loves this. This kind of little thing likes humid environments, has no eyes, only two tentacles on its head, is slimy, moves very slowly, and basically can't run away when it encounters danger. But they have their own ability to save their lives - to split instantly. Once they feel that they are in danger, they will instantly split a part of their body and pop out of the distance, with the same head and tail and antennae, crawling to the side, while the body lies on the ground motionless and pretends to be dead.

It's worth mentioning that Riel was tricked by this little trick when he first caught them...... Fortunately, only Alan knew about this, otherwise with his self-esteem, he would not have been able to raise his head at school.

By the time Riel brought the bait, Alan had already set up the line and hook and set up the rod. They glued the slugs to the hook, slowly lowered them into the water, and then waited for the first hapless coacanth to take the bait.
